You had a vacuum that lasted 20 years? What brand was it? I go through one about every 5 years, and it can't be because I overuse them (snicker).

My cleaning lady went through 3 vaccums in 2 years, burned out the motors, and replacement motors plus the fee to put them in the old machines were almost as much as a new one.
My foreman's wife is still using an old upright Eureka that I bought in 1973. She won't get a new one. I use a canister in the basement I bought about 15 years ago. Of course, the one in the basement is seldom used. I'm not the world's greatest cleaner upper. I paint.
